Some woman on the internet said she would feel safer spending a night in the woods with a random bear rather than with a random man

    Man is more unpredictable than bear. I know A bear can kill me, but I have no idea what a random man has in mind for me.

      Sure. I guess it depends on what odds you are comfortable with. I prefer the very small odds of something worse than death or anything happing at all with Man than the high odds of death with a bear.

        Where are you getting these odds from? For how many people live in bear regions, go camping/hunting/biking etc, there have not been that many bear attacks. Source

          From this scenario I’m obviously assuming you have to be close to the bear for the entire day.

          It’s not like the bear/man is at the other side of the forest.

          And as to where I got my odds from? Well out of my ass. There are no statistics on this extremely specific scenario.

      Bear: Couldn’t tell you what he’s up to even if it wanted to

      Men: Can actually listen and talk their intentions.

      Why is a man less predictable in this case? You all just claim things without the slightest bit of argument behind it… so please tell my why that would be the case.

      Thanks.

      The random man probably hasn’t anything in mind for you, just minding his own business.
